95 Points

Wednesday, October 16, 2019 - At a Commanderie BYO event in Chicago. Fun to drink a young Bdx next to so many nicely aged wines.

Medium dark purple/red color. Nose showing blackberry, spice/clove and mushroom. Fruit forward but not heavy, palate showing blackberry, plum, lavender. Crisp and precise at this stage. Medium body. Finish is elegant, medium to long

An outstanding wine very early in its life. Probably goes 25 years from here? We got it on a night where it was showing well and fun to compare against older wines A great wine to buy a case and see how it evolves over the years, would probably leave it for another 5 years from this point
